17 In time they are scorched; they vanish!When it is hot, they disappear from their place.
18 The caravans of their way turn aside;they go nowhere, and they perish.
19 The caravans of Tema looked,the travelers of Sheba hoped for them.
20 They were disappointed because they were confident;they arrived there and were dismayed.
21 For now you are nothing;you see terror and are afraid.
22 Did I say, ‘Give to me’?Or, ‘Out of your wealth, bribe me’?
23 Or, ‘Deliver me from the power of the enemy’?Or, ‘From the power of the oppressors, liberate me’?
